Volume Thirty Two in the Books That Matter Series
Solomon Reed is sixteen years old, a big fan of Star Trek: The Next Generation, likes the
water, has a family who loves him, and suffers from a panic disorder that has
kept him inside his house for three years--since he had an episode that drove him into the fountain at school.
Lisa Praytor has her sights set on the second best
college psychology program in the country, but to pay for it, she needs to apply
for a full scholarship and write an essay about her personal experience with
mental illness. And Lisa knows what--or rather who--she will write about:
Solomon Reed, the boy from her school who she hasn't seen since his breakdown
at the fountain.
After tracking down Solomon's mom, Lisa finds a way
into his life and soon so does her boyfriend, Clark. But as the
three of them get closer, things get complicated and life
might not be the same as any of them once knew it.
Author, John Corey Whaley, takes readers into the
life of an agoraphobic teen and the struggles that come with that. Highly Illogical Behavior is the young
adult novel about mental illness, friendship, love, loss, and the unpredictability
of life.
